Human-Centered Hiring in a Post-AI World with Kasim Aslam
In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, we sit down with Kasim Aslam — serial entrepreneur, "world’s greatest failure" (his words), and founder of multiple multimillion-dollar businesses. Raised by a blind single mother in Albuquerque, Kasim brings raw authenticity, humor, and hard-earned wisdom to the conversation.
We talk about the future of hiring in a post-AI world, how to attract top 1% talent, and why valuing people as individuals—not resources—is the only way to scale sustainably. Kasim drops actionable insights on everything from international hiring and his “Pareto Talent” philosophy to how large corporations lose their soul as they grow.
